CRIMINAL PREDICATE Since our inception in March 2010, VolusiaExposed.Com has been trying to have the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate what we perceive to be corruption within the Volusia County Department of Public Protection. These allegations include, but are in no way limited to sexual assaults by law enforcment officers and the falsification of records involving in-custody deaths. Most of these concerns have been incorporated into articles posted on VolusiaExposed.Com. Apparently, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement could not find any "criminal predicate" to arrest Ms. Barfield, in the same manner they could not find any criminal predicate to investigate our concerns. Frankly, we suspect that a predicate exists to support that, for the most part, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is a criminal enterprise, financed on taxpayer's dollars. |

FINAL THOUGHTS
Many Florida citizens pay their property taxes this time of the year. Do you suspect that your taxes are too high? Well, just remember, they are that high, because of people like Laura Barfield, who believes that she is entitled to purchase cruises and personal items on your hard earned tax dollars.
And let's not forget, that the FDLE doesn't believe that in doing so, Ms. Barfield has committed any crime. So there you have something to form an independent opinion on the veracity of FDLE.
QUESTIONS: Do you imagine that others in the FDLE have government issued credit cards? Could it be that others in FDLE can't see a criminal predicate to charge Ms. Barfield, because they too have used their government issued credit cards for personal purchases?
A criminal never sees another criminal as a criminal, rather he sees them as a competitor.
In the words of Paul Harvey - Good day !
